Water classes are great and the staff at the desk is very helpful
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the new parent and me gymnastics class on Thursday Mornings at the Decatur YMCA. Great instructors and great activities planned.
We love the variety of group exercise programs. There's something for everyone. All of the instructors are good and many of them are outstanding! All of the staff are courteous and very friendly to the members, responsive to questions, and most importantly, attentive to safety.
We don't use the child care center -- but it is fun to see the children playing in there. It also shows everyone what good care they are receiving.
Classes are taught by trained professional instructors who’re also friendly and knowledgeable. In addition, most of the members are friendly and encouraging. Our Y has a “family-like” atmosphere where we truly care for each other.

I like the gentle yoga classes. And, the cardio equipment is usually available in the afternoon when I go.
All of it.
I'm a new member and so far I've utilized the indoor pool. My daughter and I have enjoyed swimming there, as well as the Wednesday Farmer's Market. Looking forward to trying other programs.
Thanks!
There is a well rounded selection of classes for everyone to choose from.
I love the selection of classes, the well-equipped gym, and the fact that the whole facility is well-maintained, beautiful, and everyone who works there is pleasant and helpful. It's a great gym to attend, and they work to ensure that people are comfortable, even if you're not a gym god (yet).
